You know you're old when all the games you used to play as a kid get reissued as 10th- and 20th-anniversary collector's editions. But in a thoughtful essay on older gamers, the aptly named 2Old2Play.com classifies us into one of six different categories.

Adult gamers are all the same, right? Ask any non-gamer, and they’ll tell you. We’re all a bunch of slackers who never grew up. A bunch of overgrown kids who spend their money on games, when there are REAL ways we could be spending our money, like on mini-vans with doors that open by themselves.

The article is interesting enough, but it doesn't seem to account for the fact that there can be a overlaps in some areas.

Ben would be Devoted bordering on Hard Core, and Rodney would likely be the same. How do you classify yourself?
